HANAHAN, S.C. (WCIV) — Eggs prices are at an all-time high, thanks to inflation woes and a bird flu outbreak.

As a result, more people are turning to backyard chicken coops nationwide. But the city of Hanahan is bucking that trend, with a long-standing ban on keeping animals. There was a big movement back in 2019 to try and get the ban lifted.

With egg prices continuing to spike, the number of households with backyard chickens has nearly doubled, but in Hanahan, these guys are a no-go.

"I did have it in the back of my head," said Hanahan Mayor Christie Rainwater. "I wonder if this will make a resurrection."

A long-standing ban on owning chickens in Hanahan was passed back in 1992.

"Our current ordinance shares that there are no farm animals, including chickens, allowed in Hanahan," Rainwater said. "Many other cities in the region do allow them, but we didn't."

A movement in 2019 worked to get the ban lifted, but ultimately that vote failed.

"I voted yes, but the rest of the council voted no," said Rainwater. "So once something doesn't pass it, you need to have a year before the same ordinance can be brought up again without any substance changes. And we felt like there really wasn't a strong push at that time from our council side of things to have that."

Rainwater said that this time around, despite expensive egg prices, she hasn't seen the same passion for removing the ban as she did six years ago.

"We did have one person from our community come to our most recent council meeting, and they shared that they would like to see this brought up again for change. But it was only one person," Rainwater said.

"And following that meeting, we did not get any additional emails. Not saying it will or won't happen, but at this time it just seemed like a little bit of curiosity but not a movement or anything like that."

But convincing the city council isn't the only obstacle.

"There are several HOA subdivisions in the city of Hanahan, and so that's something that needs to be considered as well because this wouldn't just blanket allow chickens to be throughout the community," Rainwater said. "If your HOA rules, which most of them do say that you can't have chickens, you still can't have chickens."

The mayor also says there are those in the community who want to keep the ban. And if it comes before the council again she hopes both sides find common ground.

"I think there really does need to be a collaboration between those that want it and those that don't, to say how can we provide this but still be respectful and honor those that don't want it," Rainwater said.

More than 11 million households in the United States have backyard chickens. But in Hanahan, the coop remains closed.
